IRS now Accepting E-filed Returns
TurboTax®, the nation’s leading online tax preparation service
from Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq:INTU), reminds taxpayers that the Internal
Revenue Service begins accepting e-filed tax returns today,
officially kicking off the tax season. Taxpayers can file now with
TurboTax and get every dollar they deserve.
“Last year, more than 30 million people prepared their taxes
with TurboTax, benefiting from a simple and highly personalized
experience that helps them find and keep more of their hard-earned
money,” said Greg Johnson, senior vice president of marketing for
Intuit’s Consumer Tax Group. “With about 75 percent of all
taxpayers getting a federal tax refund, which averaged close to
$2,800 last year, there’s no reason to wait. With TurboTax you can
prepare your tax return and e-file with direct deposit for your
fastest possible refund.”
Do-it-yourself tax preparation is the fastest-growing tax
preparation method, up 5 percent year-over-year, according to the
IRS. The rise of DIY tax preparation is especially relevant to the
60 million Americans who have simple tax returns and can file them
at absolutely no cost with TurboTax Absolute Zero.
Last year, TurboTax saw nearly 5 million taxpayers take
advantage of the no-strings-attached offer, with the ability to
easily and accurately file their federal 1040A or 1040EZ returns,
as well as their state returns, for absolutely $0. TurboTax
customers also do not pay extra to comply with health care laws or
to claim their Earned Income Tax Credit.
TurboTax also continues to partner with IRS and state free file
programs. TurboTax All FreeSM is now available to give millions of
low to moderate-income families with adjusted gross income of
$31,000 or less – and up to $62,000 for active duty military – or
those eligible for Earned Income Tax Credit the opportunity to file
for free.
According to the IRS, the fastest way for taxpayers to get their
tax refund is through e-file and direct deposit. The IRS expects to
issue more than nine out of 10 federal tax refunds in less than 21
days after acceptance. The deadline to file individual tax returns
this year is April 18, except in Maine and Massachusetts, where the
deadline is April 19.
